Yeast shortbread cookies By the New Year (decorate with the kids)

Ingredients

Cookies: margarine 200 g
mayonnaise (preferably fatty) 4 tbsp. l.
egg 1 PC.
dry yeast 7 g (3/4 tablespoon)
flour about 400 g
vanilla sugar 10 g
Mastic: chewing marshmallows (I have 6 pcs.
powdered sugar up to 1 tbsp.
food coloring (optional)
condensed milk (for gluing mastic to the liver)

Cooking method

  • I offer a variant of a New Year's delicacy and an idea for decorating it, perhaps even for gifts to relatives. The cookies are tender, crumbly, crunchy. Yeast is not felt in it. The cookie itself is unsweetened, but condensed milk and mastic decoration give it a mild sweetness.
  • The decoration is made of mastic. I propose to make it together with the children - the material is fertile, one might say harmless, the flight of imagination is unlimited, even the crumbs of two years will take part in this fascinating process, and grandparents will appreciate such edible New Year gifts from grandchildren!
  • Melt margarine until creamy. Add mayonnaise, yeast.

  • Tighten with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes. Roll out the dough into a layer, 5 mm thick, cut out circles.

  • Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Sprinkle with vanilla sugar. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees until golden brown for about 25-30 minutes.

  • Cool the finished cookies. Crush 1-2 of them into crumbs. Grease the edges of the cookies with condensed milk, roll in crumbs.

  • Prepare the mastic. If dyes are to be used, divide the marshmallow into the appropriate number of servings. Put the chewing marshmallow in a bowl, sprinkle with water, heat in a microwave oven until it increases in volume (up to 1 minute at 800 power). Remove from microwave. Add, if desired, dyes (I did not use them, I took already tinted marshmallows).
  • Sift the powdered sugar into a bowl for the marshmallow.

  • Knead the mastic first with a spoon, and then with your hands until a plastic, practically non-sticky state.

  • Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for 20 minutes. Roll out the finished mastic into a thin layer on a surface sprinkled with powdered sugar, cut out figures depending on the design of the decoration.

Joy, if you can explain in more detail how yeast works in the dough, I would be grateful. I want soft cookies, but does the yeast have time to start working in the refrigerator and what exactly does it give. How does the cookie taste and does it get stale over time or not, does mold appear?

I don't know how deep the technology of making this dough is. Crackers, biscuit biscuits are also yeast-based, yeast is a baking powder. There is no soda in the recipe, and there is no other type of baking powder either. This means that yeast loosens. But, of course, the dough does not have time to become as fluffy as on buns.Visually, it practically does not increase.
The cookies that I got were exactly tiny, crispy, shortbread in the full sense of the word. If they treated me to it, I would not have guessed that it was by leaps and bounds. I would have thought it was a real shortbread. But I rolled the cookies thin. I think that's why it's crispy. If you roll out the dough thicker (more than 5 mm), then the cookies will be softer.
It seems to me that in terms of softness, you can achieve a cookie-like cookie as much as possible. I can't say anything about mold, I didn't check it, they ate it quickly.
And if you want exactly soft cookies, then it is better to knead the dough on sour cream and form the cookies into buns-buns the size of a walnut, and not flat, which is squeezed out by molds

Thanks for the answer. I just also want to make cookies as a gift, but the gingerbread is a little harsh, and I'm fed up. I liked your idea very much. I only need at least 20 pieces for gifts to children, last year I had to use gingerbread houses for cups. And everything is beautiful and simple with you.

lenchikflor, you can try to bake these cookies as a gift for children. I would bake, only roll it out a little thicker. And different shapes can be made by felling. We have these cookies scatter very quickly.
